Using quip makes the process of writing and sharing documentation a lot more painless and enjoyable. Overall my experience has been very positive. It's a bit of an irritant to correct that every time. Also, have noticed when I copy paste code into code-blocks, the pasted content does not fit within the default page-width, but creates a horizontal scroll-bar within the code-block. Although it has the ability to add spreadsheets, I don't use it much. Quip requires the internet and often I forget that I have to be connected to save changes. It also has the ability to create private folders which I use to store work in progress ideas and the ability to restrict access to some files / folders to specific people. It also prevents unnecessary emails as users can chat / comment directly on quip. The ability to have one central location from where all of us can access it makes this a huge time saver for all. Product feature requirements are dynamic - in that, they change often. I use quip mainly to organize my work and collaborate with my team members in documenting feature requirements. Productivity, Collaboration, Central repository. I mean, what, you expect me to highlight a sentence and comment on it to suggest to another writer that she swaps out one word? That's a waste of time. editing and suggesting mode) that I had in Google Docs and were essential to my job as a writer/editor. It's definitely better as a document creator than a project management tool, but even then there are some essential features (i.e. But it also sucks at being a document creator. It lacks the collaborative project management features it needs to make it a successful project management tool. For example, I want to be able to assign cards in an Kanban board to other people, like you would in Asana or Trello. Quip is frustrating because it's really clunky and restrictive. CONSĪt my last job, I used a combination of Google Docs and Asana to manage projects and LOVED it. Kind of nice that you can create a document and a spreadsheet in one place. But really, these are all just small things that are kind of cool, but don't add to the overall usefulness of this software. Like, being able to insert a Kanban board inside a doc isn't something I've seen elsewhere.

I have to use it because my team does, but I wish I didn't have to. It supports basic data representation objects like tables, pictures, worksheets but if you want audio etc, you want to goto powerpoint. If you are looking for a platform to create animated documents, quip might not be your friend. It behaves odd when creating tables and adding pictures (like indentation sometimes screws up). Onboarding and gettting used to the platform is really easy. You can create an excel sheet (or multiple sheets) in quip itself. You could easily import the content into a wiki or a word document with all the formatting intact. I have found Google Docs to be a bit slower than quip. It is so easy to mark your favorite folders and share it across teams. I could easily create documents that are public (i.e. Its easy to create public/private versions. I love quip as its the only good version controlled platform for taking notes that I have found in my industry experience of over 5 years.
